MINUTES - BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT <br />NOVEMBER 10, 1982 <br />The Board of Adjustment of the City of Paris met in a called <br />meeting Wednesday, November 10, 1982, 5:15 P.M. in the Council <br />Room of City Hall. Chairman F.D. Mallory, III called the meeting <br />to order with the following members present: Spencer Abbett, <br />Alec Woods, Richard Nafe and John W. Williams, Jr. Also present <br />was Joe McCollum, Director of Community Development. <br />Chairman Mallory called the first item of business which was <br />the petition of Bobby Smallwood for a variance to Section 9- <br />602 (5) of the Zoning Ordinance on part of Lots 20 and 23, <br />City Block 72 located at 544 E. Grove Street. <br />Mr. Smallwood stated his crew had set up the foundation of the <br />house at this location approximately 4 feet east of the limits <br />set by the building permit and the house was virtually complete <br />before it was brought to his attention by City Officials that <br />it was too close to the side street property line. <br />It was pointed out that a traffic hazard would be created <br />because the garage entrance on the side street was less than <br />10 feet from the pavement and it would be difficult to see <br />clearly while backing out of the garage. <br />Mr. Smallwood advised the Board that there was no driveway <br />proposed to the garage at this time and it was unlikely that it <br />would be used for car storage. <br />Mr. Williams stated it would be a large expense to correct the <br />problem and felt it did not detract from the neighborhood. <br />Mr. Nafe said he did not see a real hazard in the situation. <br />Mr. Woods voiced no objection. <br />Following discussion Mr. Abbett made a_motion to approve the <br />variance and allow the structure to remain as is. Mr. Williams <br />seconded the motion which carried unanimously. <br />There being no further business the meeting adjourned. <br />t p. <br />J e N. 'McCollum <br />cretary ex officio <br />
